BRINGING NEW LIFE TO WORK.
A
BRINGING NEW LIFE TO WORK.
B
Social Connection
The new life of work. At Coalesse, when we think about work, we ask — how can work be more human?
We were born from a passionate belief that work can be a place where you want to go, not where you have to go. And we know that people around the world are searching for this greater appeal and deeper purpose from their surroundings. We’re helping workplaces become those essential hubs — by building richer social connections, empowering creative collaboration, and supporting personal focus and rejuvenation throughout each day. The best places bring us together, to make the hard work we do better. This is what defines the new life of work. Our work is to instill these spaces with warmth, vitality and soul. We bring modern craft to all the ways we solve for more enjoyable, meaningful destinations, both indoors and out, that enliven your wellbeing and elevate your comfort. It’s why we look further, to create products and custom capabilities that make the best experiences possible — furnishings that embody insight and inspiration; that are drawn from curiosity and discovery; and that delight with beauty and mastery. And it’s why we’re so responsive at every step, to help you perfect your work now, even as we invent what you’ll need next.
Led by intuition, backed by research, and driven by design— we help you bring new life to work.

CoalesseOur Culture
Coalesse was founded in the San Francisco Bay Area and our culture has always celebrated the warm, natural beauty of California. We carry that warmth in the way
we create and design.
Warmth increases our ease, trust and delight as we relate to one another. We care about listening to what people need, and anticipating what they’ll want, to help
improve their day.

CoalesseOur Culture
Our capacities deepen when we’re energized and restored by vital surroundings. There’s a force that tells us interesting and exciting things are happening. It lets us
feel we are a part of something worthwhile.
People and spaces that feel bright and alive fuel creativity and let us flourish. They inspire us to make room for imagination — the expression that allows us to see
ourselves in what we build.

CoalesseOur Culture
We find soul everywhere, from a team of people to the projects they make, the essence of a company to the whole of a city. And from these soulful places, we’re
better able to stretch and grow.
We thrive in the presence of connection — person to person, human to nature, art to science. And when we embrace the unexpected, we’re inspired to create
solutions that both work and matter.
CoalesseOur Culture

Approach.
It’s possible to feel good while working well. This is our
approach in everything we do — to improve your sense
of wellbeing. We develop furnishings and capabilities
that balance all the dimensions of comfort with the dynamic science of function. We draw
from creative, cultural and critical thinking, because we believe design and knowledge
together can make work more welcoming, effortless
and meaningful.
We are led by intuition, backed by research, and driven by design.

Beauty & Mastery.Potrero415 Table Collection
Form frees function. Shared experiences have never been more essential at work. Potrero415 captures the fine art and modern craft of the communal table, for the ways we gather today. Iconic in form and innovative in structure, the system has an open architecture that permits many custom choices in scale, shape, materials and color. Slender new tables in the collection fill the gap for the smaller, in-between social and collaborative spaces that add valuable destinations to the workday.
Designed by Coalesse Design Group
“These tables naturally attract people to gather, yet they have the power
and responsiveness of active workspaces.”

Curiosity & Discovery.Montara650 Rocker
Comfort in motion. What happens when people rock at work? This question inspired the partnering of Coalesse product design with some of the first research of its kind, to show that rocking chairs can promote richer connec-tions in the workplace. Rocking moves us to a state of ease, but surprisingly, it also improves how we relate to each other. A good rocking chair increases all four dimensions of comfort — physical, social, cognitive and emotional.
Support the posture
Create the smooth glide that makes rocking easy for people to do

“Rocking is both relaxing and bonding. We
become collaborative, and genuinely good contributors, when
we’re more comfortable with each other.”

Insights & Inspiration.Coalesse Color, Pattern and Material Capabilities
Sensory richness. Color, pattern and material are versatile design factors that can transform a product or space. When they draw upon the restorative power of nature, they can bring richer sensory experiences to the workplace. We believe in and are inspired by these biophilic principles of wellbeing. And we’ve developed a range of custom capa- bility programs for these categories to enhance your creative expression — giving you infinite choice as well as our own framework of calm natural palettes, atmospheric design patterns and elemental solid materials.
“Three integral capabilities open us to
so many sensory design options that will bring
new life to work.”

Approach
Point of View.
It’s the imprint that defines who we are. It’s how we see
and interpret everyday life that makes our ideas distinct. Our
point of view at Coalesse is guided by three foundational
themes — Comfort, Craft and Customization — that enrich
everything we make.
This year we’ve explored the culture of modern craft, with
the rich mix of hand, machine and mind that allows us to
make things, better.

Point of View Coalesse
25
The Culture of Modern Craft.How We Create
Craft is always about making. Really, it’s about the essential creative pursuit of how to make things, better.
We believe that craft is modern in every age. And tech- nology has always been craft’s tool. Innovation has always been the process of people stretching beyond the best methods available up to that time — the daring to rethink how to do things in more efficient, elegant and ground- breaking ways. As we grow more sophisticated in what we can make and how we make it, pioneers and designers continually invent remarkable new solutions that once might not have been thought possible. And yet they also find new places to preserve the irreplaceable techniques of the past. The beauty of how we participate in the culture of modern craft today is that we can create new mastery out of these combinations. We move from the hand-made all the way to the machine-made — and back again.

“Craft drives us to solve today’s problems
with better tools. At the same time, it lets us preserve an
expression of beauty that makes the modern
world feel less cold.”
Lew EpsteinGeneral Manager, Coalesse
The Ingredients
Beauty is expressed in the unique properties of each material as they
are refined into an artful form.
The Tools
Innovation is the reason we equip ourselves with technology — to remain
relevant, to explore and inspire.
The SparkCuriosity drives the pursuit of
knowledge that makes our products more thoughtful and human.
The PioneersTraditions of mastery show us
the heritage in where we’ve been, so we know where we’re going.
What Makes Craft. These four traits constantly combine, evolve and inform what we
can create in the culture of modern craft .

“Work is always about people: how we solve
problems, alone or together; the tools we need; our
expectations of the spaces we use. We continually explore three essential Work Modes that help
us design with empathy for the ways that people
can thrive at work.”

Social Connection.
It’s about building trust. Spaces for social connection
encourage us to talk and listen. They’re the settings that provide
the intervals each day where strong bonds are created —
by meeting face to face in relaxed, candid and valued
conversations.

Brand space.Lobby and reception areas are now expected to do
much more. They’re ambassadors for your entire culture while also acting as branded social settings for initial
greetings and meetings of minds. Thoughtfully designed seating, with a welcoming soul and many ways to create
groupings, makes the difference.

Natural gathering.So often, the catalyst for successful work is simply
a great conversation. Lounges and living room-style spaces warmly invite people to sit down and talk.
Informal gatherings — in an open plan or a dedicated room — invite the spontaneous postures that
can foster richer connections.

Focus and Rejuvenation.
Time to regroup. Workspaces only do half
the work if they don’t provide for vital downtime and
mental absorption. Deep thinking comes from states of
concentration that are cared for in quiet, personal
settings with fewer social interruptions.

Adaptation.We know work is fluid. Spaces should be, too.
Socializing can quickly turn into creative generation around a new idea; solo time can open to include
collaboration. We equip a range of in-between areas that can adapt to all kinds of work, depending on what
activity is needed in the moment.

“Furniture is our medium to help people feel as

when they begin it. We’re designing for work that’s
more comfortable and restorative, because happy,
healthy and humane environments are going to inspire more accomplished,
engaged people.”
